Le mans 2010 June 12th

[BadDave]

Off topic, but are we going on the 6am 10th June and 1800 14th june crossing? If so, and you use this code:

EBS

The total is a mere £37 including £9 of 'fuel surcharge.'

I'm thinking of booking it already...just leave the registration blank atm just in case I have something else to travel in.

I tried another code which was supposed to give 20% off but it failed miserably and wouldn't work

[Jon_Bmw]

I've just done a euro tunnel quote, it worked out at £87 which I thought was quite reasonable... Doh, too many choices this year. Breakdown cover is only £29.99 with them as well(15year limit).

Are you thinking of taking the executive luxobarge Jon?
LPG cars are not allowed in the tunnel . However you can take a dodgy old camper van with a calor gas bottle in through

Not really saving much,if at all, other than on the breakdown cover.

[Jon_Bmw]

No there is no saving at all Dave, slightly more expense, but only half an hour to get across rather than 2 hours! Gareth, mine hasn't got LPG. yet.

Probably stick to norfolkline then chaps? Stick to what we know huh?

[Ziggy]

Yeah Norfolkline sounds better to me. I was only looking for alternatives that would shave a few hours driving off tbh.

You should come Gareth!

How was the rally Jon? Expect I missed loads of carnage

[Jon_Bmw]

In that case, I am going to book the Ferry this afternoon I think. Thursday at 0600 and Monday at 1800.

Rally was good, got to three stages, although I missed Uddens this year. An absolutely mental 306 with a v6 ford cosworth was the best noise of the day, by a frigging mile. It sounded about 10k rpm, but was probably 8.5/9k.

No crashes, but some nice cars. There was a small historic section with lots of spastic minis, and in the normal section there was 10 mk2 escorts with a lairy rear end. It was actually a very good one, it had chucked it down the night before, but it didn't rain once when spectating. Perfect.

[BadDave]

If that's you booked Jon,I'll get onto norfolkline and get me booked on as well

[gareth]

i thought you'd LPG'd it Jon... if not, you'd best get to it

oh, my mate was marshalling at that rally... look on yourube for Andy Burton, he's the chap with the rather potent 306. awesome machine!

ziggy, i'd love to come but my miserable funds can't stretch to this as well as the zone roam and a 2.5k trek to the 'ring - via france, switzerland, stelvio, a week in italy etc etc in august

[Jon_Bmw]

If that's you booked Jon,I'll get onto norfolkline and get me booked on as well

[Ziggy]

Have you booked your BSJ ticket?

[Jon_Bmw]

Aye, I haven't spoken to Danny boy for a month or so, but he always comes....at the last minute.

You are welcome to the dirty scrote, him and charlie made a good job of littering my car*


*They are actually both clean freaks.

[Jon_Bmw]

Have you booked your BSJ ticket?

Don't be silly, I just did the easy bit. We need someone who speaks garlic to phone the ACO up. JON!

[BadDave]

Any decision on the camping tickets yet??

[tomson]

It's £42 now I go to book, typical !

[Ziggy]

Did you use the "EBS" code?

[BadDave]

Did you use the "EBS" code?

Looks like it's no longer working Jon

[tomson]

Yeah but as Dave says its no longer valid

[Jon_Bmw]

It needs to be in Capitals. It may have run out though...

[BadDave]

That was emphasised at the time Jon

[tomson]

Yep, did it in capitals and Dave tried too, must have run out.

I'll keep checking google for discount codes for a couple of weeks...

[BadDave]

BSJ camping pass finally booked

[Ziggy]

I really should do that too! Will book mine today.

[Ziggy]

I is now bookificated.

[Jon_Bmw]

Where did you book that?

[BadDave]

Where did you book that?

Mines booked through TL as last year, as I know it'll arrive in plenty time

[Ziggy]

SC for me... Couldn't be ar$ed with phoning French people & then not knowing whether anything was actually going to work when I got there

[Ziggy]

Who else is all booked then?

Only a couple of months away!

[BadDave]

Jon, will you be bringing the gazebo again this year??

[E30Gheko]

How likely do you think it is that my car might make it onto the ferry without incurring significant economic loss?


I'm sorely tempted....

[Jon_Bmw]

God I still haven't booked my camping pass, such a penis. Better do that in a minute. Rob, you'll be put on the lower level after you have proved you cannot get up top. Naa, usually they are pretty good.

Dave, yeah I think it is still alive back at my 'rents place. I'll put it up beforehand to double check you and Yiangou put it away properly. £12.99 and it has lasted 4 trips, I love being tight!

[Jon_Bmw]

Campsite ticket is £60? Is that what you 'orrible lot paid?

Seems expensive.

[BadDave]

Jon

I'll bring my one along anyway.

Just thought it may be better with 2 this time,as 1 was a tad on the small side.
